Pros

Some remote work Free food Nice co-workers

Cons

The management is extremely inexperienced and immature, which creates a culture of inconsistency and poor communication. Decisions often feel reactive rather than proactive, and basic organizational skills are lacking. This environment makes it difficult for employees to feel supported or confident in their roles. Performance plans are issued constantly, not as a genuine tool for development, but seemingly as a way to push employees out rather than address financial issues or conduct proper layoffs. This approach creates fear, instability, and a deeply unhealthy work environment.
